}IMPORTANT: include "type": "streamableHttp" (camelCase, NOT "streamable-http"). When the type field is omitted, Cline’s schema defaults to SSE — confirmed by reading Cline’s source code. Agentcy supports both transports so it won’t hard-fail without it, but streamableHttp is the recommended modern path. Cline supports an alwaysAllow list per server to auto-approve specific tools — useful for unattended Agentcy queries during autonomous coding sessions. Free open-source extension (BYOK — you provide your own LLM API key). Current version: v3.77.0 (April 1, 2026) with ~3.55M installs.
